    Very strange and weird. If this is what the plea bargaining Act entails, then Parliament should amend the law.

    Life is cheap in Ghana. You murder someone and plead guilty of manslaughter and get only 5 years jail time. How disappointing

    He stabbed him with a screwdriver and he died subsequently, why manslaughter and five years then?

    It is manslaughter since he did not have intention to kill. Reading from the facts, he rather had intention to cause harm with the screwdriver. 5year is however too small for a homicide

    ...Article 42(6) of which Constitution or document? There is no Article 42(6) under the 1992 Constitution.

    Why did the guy go there with a screw driver? isn't is with intent to cause harm? I believe that 5yrs is too lenient

    5 years too lenient. this should not be manslaughter. perhaps, the change was internal to reduced the punishment. is that how law is supposed to work?
